Judith Robinson White Brockenbrough (March 6, 1784 – March 10, 1854) was born in King William County, Virginia, was the daughter of John Camm White and Judith Braxton. She married William Brockenbrough in 1806. An intimate of Dolley Madison, wife of President James Madison, she was present in Washington when the British burned the city in 1814 during the War of 1812. She assisted Dolley Madison in rescuing valuables from the White House. Dolley Madison said of her, "as a friend I find Mrs. Judith Brockenbrough unequalled." In later years, her husband was a judge on the Virginia Court of Appeals, and the family was close to Chief Justice John Marshall, who resided near them in Richmond, Virginia. Her son, Judge John White Brockenbrough, was one of the principal proponents of Robert E. Lee becoming president of Washington College and was the founder of the Lexington Law School. ==External links==
